ITV has confirmed to ATV Today that Kate Garraway has not quit the ITV 1 breakfast programme Daybreak.

The Daily Star is reporting in their latest tabloid story that Kate Garraway has quit Daybreak as entertainment editor and stand-in presenter. An ITV spokeswoman told ATV Today that the story in the newspaper is “absolutely untrue”.

Kate is the only regular personality on the current morning show from ITV left from the GMTV days, which was axed last year and replaced with Daybreak. Garraway began co-hosting GMTV Today in 2000 on the Friday edition, she later also added the Thursday outing to her schedule.
